January's BirchBox

So as I signed up a tad late for this month, I have finally received January's BirchBox! It's so exciting!

I received five main items (and an added 'lifestyle' extra) and I have decided to review one each day as I use them!

First off I'm going to start with my favourite this month....

LAVERA Basis Sensitive Hand Cream £4.45

Available at BirchBox

All I can say is.. I am in love! Although it's only a 20ml bottle (actually perfect for the handbag-standard 75ml), this little beauty is honestly the best hand cream I have EVER used, and that is saying something! Described as consisting of, 'Organic shea butter and almond oil,' the fragrance honestly smells like something from my childhood! I really can't pinpoint which sweet it smells like and it's been bugging me all evening, but the gorgeous 'sherberty' smell is not overpowering or sickly but refreshing and almost lifting with citrus undertones. It rubs in really easily, no horrid greasy stickyness and is definitely perfect for parched winter hands. When this bottle is over, I will 10000% be ordering another- £4.45 seems pretty much a bargain for a high end hand cream to me! Maybe it'll just be one of those... presents to me, love me x
